Have you thought about contacting businesses which offering services in the cryptocurrency space? They might be interested in setting up affiliates or directly sponsoring content that you could write about. This is very popular with fiat websites and you would be one of the only people offering a blog about cryptocurrency which would put you in a unique position for earning crypto. By contacting them directly I think you will earn more then adding random affiliate links to your website and you will gain more commission.
Do you mean having a partnership with the most influencer crypto services like an exchange, very well-known people, or anything as long as they are also reputable or large companies.  I got your point and it might be a good idea, but sometimes project/company owners are quite busy improving their product or services offered if they are in line with that business.

There's a lot of competition now among bloggers or freelancers, making Facebook ads and Google ads or any big company where you can link to your blog site has a great advantage.

But friends, to be genuine, I am also running a few blogs on crypto topics, getting some of the traffic from Search engines and social media. But I never used an advertising network for earning, rather I used affiliate programs. Which gives some type of residual earnings passively.

Traffic is the only key to get successful with blogging.

I agree affiliate programs is a way to go when you are blogging about Cryptocurrency if you don't want to put Adsense on your blog I still see a lot of blogs using Adsense they are not going to expose your personal info unless there is a court order, anyway if you have a good flow of traffic and the traffic is targetted you can do bounty hunting, yes I still recommend it, you can make it customize by contacting developers of the project and offer your blog, of course only write articles for projects with good potential and legit

in the long run, I would always rather rely on earnings from ad networks than affiliate programs. You can get some profit, even if there is no top quality visit. it should also be a very good service and you should be among the first to promote it if you want some significant earnings from their affiliates.
Plus, it can be much harder to promote, because some services do not allow the promotion of affiliate links.

however, it is best to combine both methods if possible.

Congratulations for your Blog.

It has been a while I have created a cryptocurrency blog site. I used to produce content back in the days but due to some personal works, I couldn’t. So, I hired a writer who is now writing for me.
Now, since I have expenses for writing contents, I need little amount of cash to continue the expenses, at least for covering the fee for the writer.
My site has 200-300 visits a day depending on the number of contents I post on the site. It gets higher when I publish more. Visits are mostly from facebook cryptocurrency related group. Very few are from organic search.

What is the best way to monetize such a small site? I have applied for publisher account in bitmedia.io but they have declined my application. I don’t want to put google adsense as they require my personal info to send out the payment. Any suggestion you think would work for me to generate little cash?

As I checked Your blog is in regional language. Creating blogs to earn money is a new trend in the industry since Web 2.0.

But the success ratio is very low. Just because it needs more consistency, effort, expense, and quality. Also, it requires higher SERP and DA with quality backlinks.

I saw many bloggers are still hunting for CPC, CPM, or CPL.

what kind of monetization do you want? maybe you can look for an online advertising agency that matches the niche content on your website. if you are okay with adult ads maybe you can see crackrevenue or you can see an advertising agent that fits your niche. or you can do affiliate marketing with the current crypto business or maybe with selling space banner or side ads in your page.

No, that's bad advice. Op needs liquid cryptos (at least on a regular basis) because he hired a writer. New project reviews are so boring, I don't really find such review blogs to have regular visitors and stay. Moreover, I don't recommend op to write new project reviews, they are full of scams and gray business. It can damage the credibility of the blog.

Yea, it's going to hugely depend if you care about your blog's reputation. If you want your blog to be a long term thing that could potentially be reaching thousands per day in the future, you definitely wouldn't want to be promoting random projects. You're going to be better off promoting affiliate/referral programs of legitimate companies(Ledger/Trezor/Coinbase/Binance/etc).

If you have a hard time getting accepted to advertising networks because you lack the traffic stat, joining a bounty campaign is a good option I have friends who are bloggers who received anywhere from $30 to $200 per bounty campaign they joined, if the project has good potential you can make good money but of course you will have to wait for a few months before you get your shares but there's also a risk of the project not giving you your share because of failure of the project to generate funds.

I saw your blog, it is written in Bengali which caters to two specific populations only. One is the country of Bangladesh where bitcoin is having a lot of troubles recently, but has some sort of a cult following. Second is India's West Bengal state where again bitcoin is not that popular yet even though efforts are being made.

The language is the first thing that is lowering pageviews IMO, an English blog obviously attracts a larger population. With these two low tier countries your monetization will be lower than an English blog and it becomes difficult to grow.

You should work on this but how you would want to improve this is your choice. Your post here is done in English and it is not bad, so I guess you could do both versions? (suggestion)

After that you would rather want to start with promoting specific affiliate links before starting to place ads.

There is much difference between using a display ads network and advertising affiliate links or banners. In-display ads, there is a chance to earn something even not purchase anything from the ads (depends on the type of ads). But in affiliate ads, there is no chance to earn money without sales. For example, Ledger will only pay 10% upon successful sale from that affiliate link. So most probably display ads would help OP to get more earns. But he needs to bring more traffics. It's hard to monetize your site with these small visitors.

As a person who manages websites, I'm totally aware of that. And like I said, I found nitpicking affiliate programs well-suited for the website's niche mostly a lot more effective(both with the website revenue, and in the end-user's reading experience) than just using ad networks that are mostly just a hindrance to the readers.

And you definitely can monetize a 200-300 views per day website. You just need to test out which affiliate networks work best with your niche audience.

I'm personally not for ad platforms such as AdSense and such, simply because the ads can be really really annoying.

In my opinion personally, since we're talking about a cryptocurrency blog, why not use Ledger[1] and Trezor[2] affiliates? You get to pitch hardware wallets to people, helping them secure their funds from hackers, and at the same time you make money. That's a great win-win situation in my book.

Are you sure that you get 200-300 daily visits?

You are lucky that you can get visitors for 5 months old website sometimes new blogs gain organic traffic after 6 months. So one more month we will see some good rank keywords from your website and gain organic traffic.

If coinalap.com is your website based on similarweb it seems it only has 300 to 500 monthly traffic so most of the ads networks don't accept low traffic.

I would suggest you learn about SEO to increase the traffic of your website and to gain more organic traffic I have a list of tools and guide that you can follow keyword is very important on SEO.
Check this https://github.com/eliquid/awesome-keyword-finder-tools

About ad networks your website is based on Crypto so if you want to earn right away then a-ads is the best option and focus on making more traffic by doing SEO.

You could gently push some affiliate links to your reader base.

Right now I don't think any major ad platforms would be willing to take you on, simply because of the lack of clicks. If you are serious about this then maybe consider investing some time/energy/money into a site redesign & advertising campaigns for your site to expand your audience.

The smaller, more niche advertising agencies could take you on, but you would get a measly few cents a day - not worth it.

In addition to what others have suggested, there are a few more in the following list: List of Advertising Networks [if you're using an ad blocker of some sort, disable it prior to viewing that page]
Note: I haven't checked to see if your website fits their requirements [kindly DYOR].

Any suggestion you think would work for me to generate little cash?
Try to contact other cryptocurrency websites and sell your ad spaces directly to them.

I think you need at least 10k visitors per month:
The second link you've provided is a bit outdated [it says 5k on their website].

I think your website has too small traffic for cointraffic, which will display ads in your website and give you payments:

[...]

They only work with cryptocurrency related ads and websites. I think you need at least 10k visitors per month:
Yeah, I forgot to mention about this, and they also somewhat strict accepting websites, I remember that I have tried several times before I got accepted as their publisher.

While I'm still for google adsense, you can choose western union for withdrawal and use anyone's info on your family, particularly those who have valid id to be present when receiving on the branch near you.

Are you talking about your site on this one, coinalap.com?
You will have to readjust your initiative to write local language news. Apart from having low traffic (because this is a new site), my assumption is that you are difficult to be accepted by ad networks because the list of ad content is limited or which may not be friendly to the main source country of your visitors. Of course, the slightest thing will be considered by the advertising company.

But there's nothing wrong with trying to apply to all the crypto ad networks out there. Especially new advertising companies that have lighter requirements.

My site has 200-300 visits a day depending on the number of contents I post on the site.
Unless you increase the number of visits to a reasonable level, it will be impossible to get a good return on investment from renting advertising space, so you must increase the number of visits to about 500 per day or 10,000 per month to get a good income.
Secondly, it is difficult to manage a site with many views without submitting your documents, so you must know that if the number of participants increases, you will have to submit more documents.

https://cointraffic.io/publishers/

They only work with cryptocurrency related ads and websites. I think you need at least 10k visitors per month:

Quote
The site must have good quality content with unique articles and a user-friendly interface.
A top-level domain is required
The site must be related to crypto-currency niche such as Bitcoin.
The site must not contain inappropriate content such as adult content, PTC content, viruses, Proxies, and other illegal content.
Your website must have a minimum unique visitor per month rate of 10,000 or above.

There are other websites similar to cointraffic which will display ads, but I think you need more visitors. So, I would focus in expanding your audience.

Have you tried cointraffic? Or a-ads its easy to integrate there but I know it's hard to earn as they only have CPC, correct me if I'm wrong though. While cointraffic counts both CPM and CPC so you can earn more than on a-ads.

Btw I'm currently using cointraffic and barely get €1/day, have 3k page view per day.
